Sox are down & up…then up & down

If you only watched the final 5 innings on Monday, and the first 5 innings on Tuesday, you would have left with a huge smile on your face. You see, in those 9 innings, the Sox scored 11 runs. Monday they actually came back from an early 3 run deficit, twice, to win. Game one [...]

Sox salvage a tough trip

Nice recovery by the White Sox. Loser of 3 straight, including a doubleheader to the Indians, the Sox won the final 2 games. They won 3 of 7 games on this trip, but it could have been worse. Well, it could have been better, but still. John Danks showed how great a pitcher he can [...]

Sox aren’t Dunn, know they can play with the Tigers

All spring the talk from outside observers was about the Sox competing with the almighty Detroit Tigers. Through 6 games I would say they are quite even. Sox won Saturday 3-2, but after losing the finale 3-1, each team has won three games. Besides Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd has been the Sox most consistent pitcher. [...]

Sox can’t close the deal against the Tigers

Jake Peavy was recently named the A.L. pitcher of the month for the great work he did in April. He looked like he wanted to double up on the award in his first May start. Peavy once again had all his pitches working. The only batter that he had real trouble with was Alex Avila, [...]

Good news, bad news for the Sox over the past 2 days

I expected better results in the 3 games just played between the White Sox and Indians, but it just didn’t happen. Got good news before game 2 when MLB announced that Jake Peavy was named AL pitcher of the month. It was well deserved for Peavy, who threw 2 complete games, one shutout, and looked [...]

The Sox pitching is almost perfect (One already is)

We all know the strength of the White Sox was going to be their starting staff. So far, through 16 games it is playing out perfectly. 3 days ago, Mister perfect, Phil Humber joined a very exclusive club. If you don’t know what it is, pull you head out of the sand, unless you are [...]

Sox put on the O face, losing 3 of four to Baltimore

My observations after 4 games between the Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Hector Santiago is young, and may very well make a great closer. However, the home run ball is, and will continue to, hurt him. 4 innings pitched, 3 home runs allowed. That isn’t gonna work. When he is on, he is on, but [...]

Told they’re not as good as the Tigers, Sox get downright defensive

How many times have you heard a baseball manager say, “The game is about pitching and defense?. We all shake our head, while muttering under our breathe, “Yeah, right!.” The Sox proved the truth in that statement win their 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in home opener for the South Siders. That’s the first [...]
